Common boxwood cultivar with variegated foliage. Good for brightening up dark corners.

Callicarpa dichotoma et cv

Small vase-shaped shrub with small persistent metallic purple fruit along its branches. Unusual colour.

Cornus sanguinea 'Winter Flame'

Shrub with rich red to orange stems. Not as hardy as our red osier dogwood.

Disanthus cercidifolius

Shrub with delicate stems and green foliage in summer, which quickly turns dark red and lasts until the first frost. Place it in a protected corner. Interesting for its foliage.

Hedera helix and cv

Ground cover with persistent foliage. 'Wilsonii', 'Baltica', 'Thorndale' and 'Bulgaria' are all hardy cultivars. Try the 'Sulphur Heart' cultivar with a striking yellow sulphur-coloured “heart” in the middle of the leaf. At the foot of a wall or a tree, keep an eye on this climbing ivy.
